The subjoined Extract from a Resolution of Government, dated 11 inst., is
forwarded for the information of Lieutenant Kennedy, 2nd Regiment Light
Cavalry.

With reference to previous correspondence on the
subject,

"His Lordship in Council is glad to receive
this perfectly satisfactory contradiction to the statement which appeared
in the Overland Mail newspaper.

"As respects Lieutenant Kennedy's conduct
in travelling from Suez to Bombay as a deck passenger, disguised in Turkish
costume, His Lordship in Council concurs with his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief;
the proceeding was indecorous, and this should be intimated to Lieutenant
Kennedy".
